Changing color depth in illustrator

ok my problem is I am trying to upload a file that I made in illustrator but the site will not accept the jpg because it is "32 bit depth". I am using the export feature so preserve the quality of the image. It works if I save for the web but it does not look good at all, and I would like to print this image. Is there anyway you can change illustrator or save 24 bit depth instead of 32???

You need to export as RGB instead of CMYK. Illustrator exports 8 bits per channel, so CMYK means four channels or a total bit-depth of 32 bits. Save for web only exports RGB so of course there’s no issue with bit depth.

Possible to change color depth for Leopard's VNC server?

I think it is very nice to include vnc server right into Leopard. But one problem, it seems it will only accept connection from clients when it is set to use full colors. This is painfully slow over WAN, any way to change the requirement from the server end?

Possible to change color depth for Leopard's VNC server?
Yes you can modify your screen sharing application so that you can adjust the colour depth. However you need to issue a command in the terminal to get this to work.

Changing Color Depth

I need to change the color depth of an external monitor, but it seems this has been removed from 10.6! How can I change the color depth of an external monitor? Thanks!

You can improve the framerate only if your application is fillrate limited, if it is polygon limited you will see no difference.
But yes often you get increased framerates, but beware that using 16 bit colours will on NVidia mean you also use 16 bit Z-Buffer, which can lead to annoying rendering artifacts.
You have two ways to set the colours:
1) Change desktop colours to whatever you wanna use.
2) Use exclusive fullscreen mode, and set colours.
How about rewarding me some duke dollars for that answer? :)

Change color depth on pavilion 23

Is it possible to change the color depth on a Pavilion 23? Can you add software to add color depth? Sorry not really computer savvy! Thanks in advance!

The Pavilion 23-g010 is an All-in-One computer.
As noted, this specific model uses a 16cm x 16cm motherboard (AMD CPU), referenced as Femto AIX,
manufactured by T&I for HP.
The Intel standard (released August 2012) for All-In-One motherboards is Thin-ITX, (17cm x 17cm), with a height restriction of 2.5 cm (some cases permit height up to 3.5 cm)
Several manufacturers provide motherboards in the Thin-ITX form factor for custom builds by advanced DIY users.
This video shows what is involved, in such builds.

Change color depth of shared screen?

I'm using ARD 3.2 on Mac Pros running 10.4.11.
First of all, I'm not asking about changing the color depth when viewing a screen with ARD. I would like to adjust the color depth when using the "*Share Screen...*" feature to put my screen on 10 other machines for demo purposes.
When viewing a screen there is a little slider to change among B&W, Grayscale, Thousands, and Millions. There is no slider or any preference that I can find for sharing, but I was wondering if there might be a plist or pref file that can be modified either client-side or on the ARD admin computer.
I need to have millions of colors, but all it will do is thousands. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

Hi *,
here's a little guide how to patch the Screen Sharing application so it'll allow adjustment of the color depth in full screen mode:

Change Color Depth Remotely?

Does anyone know how to change the color depth on multiple clients, using ARD, without restarting? Is it a simple UNIX command?
Example: A student runs an OS9 application that changes the color depth from Millions to 256 Colors. When you try to Observe that machine, after the student has quit the program, the picture is all garbled (ARD has trouble viewing 256 colors).
I want to be able to remotely change the color depth back to Millions from 256 Colors without restarting. Can this be done??

You can if you install cscreen (freeware) which allows you to change resolution and pixel depth via the command line. Once installed (and it can go pretty much anywhere), you just use the Send Unix Command function with the path to the cscreen utility and the appropriate settings. Here's the full syntax:
Usage: cscreen [-d <depth>] [-x <width>] [-y <height>] [-r <refresh>] [-s <display>] [-v] [-m] [-f] [-l] [-h]
[-d <depth>] : specifies the bit depth (bits per pixel)
[-x <width>] : specifies the width in pixels
[-y <height>] : specifies the height in pixels
[-r <refresh>] : specifies the refresh rate in Hz
[-s <display>] : specifies which display to use (defaults to main display)
use a as the option to -s to specify the action on all displays
[-v] : display valid modes (use -s to specify display or nothing for the default)
[-m] : require an exact match
[-f] : forces settings (ignores safety mechanisms; USE AT YOUR OWN RISK)
[-l] : lists the current displays and modes
[-p] : sets the requested display to have the menu bar
[-h] : displays the usage

My Illustrator does not allow me to change colors using swatches panel. Help pleas.

Few days ago I started having strange problems with my Illustrator CS5 application. I am using MacBook Pro with Intel Processor. After major update on the Mac OS few days ago I noticed I can not change colors in my drawings using swatches panel. The function on my Illustrator CS5 stopped working. When I select object and try to change its fill or stroke color using fill and stroke from the options bar above work space, none of the swatches would work. The are there how ever nothing hapends when I select them, the color remains the same.The same thing happens if I try to use the swatch panel, I select the object then I try to select new color from swatch but the fill or stroke does not change. I can only change color on my drawings using the color panel but that is not useful for me since I need to get precise colors using approved color swatches ether from pantone library or approved by client.
The other strange thing is my selection tool does not deselect when I click outside on or of the artboard, the object remains selected until I reselect another object or use the keyboard short cut to deselect it.
I have tried various options to resolve the issue from deleting and reseting preference to completely uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator CS5. I even installed back my old CS4 version because I had to complete a project and the same issue is happens there as well. I also reset the application using Time Machine from few months ago when it was working correctly. What happens when I reset or reinstall the app, it works for about 10 min correctly as it should and and then it reverts to the same problem. I am out of options and do not know what else I could do to fix this. Right now I am working on my old Mac tower G5 and CS4 where everything works as it is suppose to, but I really need to get this fixed. Can any one help or has solution for my problem? Please.

PS file in illustrator changes color when I move it??

When I open a ps file in illustrator some objects change color when I move them and are displayed correctly in preview and Photoshop, why and how do I fix this?
Also the object seems to be duplicated. It should have the same and only the colors of the scale bar. In another file the image part is correct and the scale bar is incorrect.
Should look like this:

It is an odd problem. The "good" screen shot is from opening the PS file in mac's preview. As it is, I use several tools in illustrator to get the final image where I need it to be; several layers and what not. I have tired 5, 5.1, and 6 with the same problem. Again I have a different problem when I use a different figure:
As you can see just the opposite problem is the case. The map part is good while the color scale if off. Both parts are made in the same way and more or less in the same sequence, I don't think it is purely a problem at birth and other software can "see" it correctly, so I don't think it is a hardware problem.

Color Depth Choices Removed...Any other way to change?

SL removed color depth choices in displays. We use display link adapters (USB video cards) for extra external monitors (email/web etc) and setting the display to thousands increased performance dramatically. Now we are stuck at millions...
Anybody have some command line fu to change the display color depth?

Sorry... No.

How to change color quality \ depth ?

Hi
How to change my color setting from 16 \ 24 \ to 32 bit ?
because when I`m entering supportdetais.com
color depth shows 24 bit only !!

There really isn't such a thing. Go to this article and scroll down to 32-bit color.
Full color in how we humans implemented digital data is normally 24-bit. A byte is 8 bits. Starting from 00000000 and counting every possible distinct combination up to 11111111 gives us 256 shades of gray per color channel of Red, Green and Blue. So 24-bit color is 256 x 256 x 256 (2563), or using the usual rounded off figure, 1.6 million colors.
I know Windows has allowed the choice of 32-bit color for quite a few years, but users were never actually getting that.

Solaris 10 - Changing default screen color depth

Hello,
I just upgraded a Sun Blade from Solaris 8 to 10. I have a rather old image display application (ftp://east.la.asu.edu/pub/software/pw-5.23.tar.gz) that is absolutely essential for my work, and it will not run under Solaris 10, either on the CDE or jave/gnome desktops.
The executable for this application was compiled using gcc on Solaris 8, and ran fine on Solaris 8 CDE (v1.4.3?) with the "Most colors for applications" color setting in Desktop Color prefs. With that setup, the application allocated 216 colors when starting up, which was sufficient. If the application could not allocate enough colors, it would use its own private color map, which caused window "flashing," but that was OK.
Under Solaris 10 CDE (v1.6.3) and gnome, the application cannot allocate enough colors, and cannot even start with its own color map.
I re-complied the application on Solaris 10 using Sun Studio 11, and the same problem occurs with the new executable.
I think that the problem may be related to default color depth. Right now, with xwininfo, my Solaris 10 CDE xterms are 24-bit true color. Unfortunately, I think that I may need to set my default color depth to 8-bit pseudocolor for the application to run. How can I change the default color depth of the CDE and gnome desktops to pseudocolor? I know that the application works on HP-UX CDE with the default depth as pseudocolor.
I cannot remember if I had somehow changed the settings for color depth on Solaris 8 to get the application to run. I do know that the xwininfo results for a Firefox browser window running on my Solaris 8 CDE desktop was 24-bit true color. I hope very much that this will be the case if I change my default depth to 8-bit on Solaris 10.
Any help that anyone can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. I am dead in the water without this imaging application. I am a member of the Sun Developer Network, and I don't know if I should post this message somewhere on the Developer Forums. Please let me know if I should.
Thank you in advance!!!!!

Hi,
In my first post there is a link to the code I am talking about. The code is public and available. It was created by Noel Gorelick at ASU. It is based on having an 8-bit Xserver running. There are few users of this code, but I completely agree with you that a new generation of unix-based imaging code needs to be developed that is system and Xserver independent. Optimal code should detect screen depth and open windows with desired color depth automatically, without "flashing.". That way, it could even run under Gnome, which allocates all but 18 8-bit colors for the desktop. Under CDE, the code allocates 224 colors for itself, which is great. The above code will create its own colormap if it cannot allocate enough colors, but there is flashing in that case. Have at it if you wish.
Best regards,
Sparcmaster

[Solvedish] Can color depth be changed in X with no xorg.conf file?

I have a laptop that's working perfectly with no xorg.conf file except for the color depth is at 16 and I want it at 24. Can color depth be changed in X with no xorg.conf file? (I already tried the amazing three line xorg.conf file to no avail.)
Last edited by skottish (2008-03-09 03:15:11)

Won't work on a running X session, and has the same effect as the aforementioned xorg.conf file if run before starting X.
I may just have to make a new xorg.conf file. The last one decided it hated some upgrade I made and started wreaking havoc all over my system. Crashes and lockups and flickers galore!
--EDIT--
It turns out that the xf86-video-intel driver was my problem all along. I reverted to the i810 driver and my xorg file works again (it has more than three lines).

Illustrator files changing colors

i have illustrator files compiled in a book in indesign. everything looks fine and then when i create a pdf some of the illustrator files change colors (what's supposed to be black turns green). anyone know what could be happening?

Black shouldn't turn to green. However, if you have PMS colors and you select convert to process in export you will get color shift. Does it print green? If it prints correctly, it's a preview setting in Acrobat that needs adjusting. I think if you select Show Overprint it displays correctly. I'm at home so I can't check in Acrobat Pro.

Adobe Reader changes system color depth settings to 256 colors

I am writing here for a friend who has a Windows 7 system and Adobe Reader in version 9.4
Each time he opens Adobe Reader the system settings for color depth are changed to 256 colors, which makes PDF documents barely readable. It is possible to change the color depth back to normal in the system settings, but each restart of Adobe Reader switches the system again to 256 colors.
Does anyone here have a clue how to stop this behaviour of Adobe Reader?
My friend has tried to remove Adobe Reader and reinstall it, but the problem remains.
Since I am a Mac user my Windows abilities are very limited and I am very grateful for any help.
Thanks a lot,
macvet

Could be a hardware malfunction. Maybe you should take that MacBook to an Apple store and have it checked out.

How do I change Imac OS 10.7 color depth?

Im using an Imac with Mac OS 10.7.3. I am trying to use a Citrix to open some files but I get the error message that display is configured for 65536 colors and is not supported. I need to us 24 or 32 bit color. I cannot figure out how to make this change. Under system preferences>Display I see nothing that allows me to change depth to those levels.

Got to Displays icon in menu bar. When click on it I see the following. (see image below). Still can't find where to choose color depth.
